Seven days after beginning his intensive magical training, Sage Alistair discovered something considerably more frustrating than managing an organization filled with troublesome Adventurers.
He had encountered a problem that couldn't be solved by throwing additional Mana at it.
Inside his private training chamber, Sage sat cross-legged upon a circular platform, surrounded by four softly glowing magic formations.
Each formation represented one of his elemental affinities, and the Mana flowing through them had been carefully arranged to maintain a continuous connection with his Mana Veins.
For nearly two hours, he had been attempting to push his magical abilities toward the threshold separating a 4-Star Mage from a 5-Star Grandmaster Mage.
Unfortunately, the results remained disappointing.
